OK good. Fuel should be no more then 5% nitro and about 10% oil. You may be able to go to less oil if the lower end of the connecting rod is needle bearing. You will want a fairly hot glow plug, I would go with an OS F plug provided you have no clearance issues. This should start up pretty easily. They love to be what most guys would consider over primed. Set it to a high idle, cover the carb opening with your thumb and pull it through a few rotations. You should be able to see fuel traveling into the carb. You should be able to feel when the cylinder has good fuel in it. Hook up power to the plug and give the spinner a quick flip clockwise. This should fire the mixture in the cylinder and get the engine running counter clockwise.
